Most people, when on a pilgrimage to Rome, want to get the most out of it. While it does sound fun to wander around on your own, it’s quite easy to miss a lot of important or exciting things. You’re too busy trying to read the map or waiting in lines, which means you miss a lot of the action. Therefore, you may want to consider guided Colosseum tours because the guide makes sure you get as much history and information as you need to fully enjoy your time.
Skip the Line
One of the biggest benefits of a guided tour is that you don’t have to wait in the long line to see the attraction. Almost every day, up to 25,000 people are visiting the same location as you, which means a lot of waiting around. By the time you get to see what you came for, you’re bored of it already or tired, which means you don’t get the full benefit of being there.
Limited Hours
Most people can’t stay in Rome forever and may only have a few days to see all the sights. While the Colosseum shouldn’t be missed, you may also want to visit other areas, such as the Pantheon, Roman Forum, or the Underground. If you don’t have a tour guide, you may not get to see all the things you desire, as you may spend so much time at one location and not have enough for the others.
Tons of Options
When you book a tour, you can find many choices. It can make it a little harder to make a decision, but there are ways to help. Make sure you choose whether you want a small group, semi-private or private tour first, and then make your decision based on the amount of time you have and the price.
